Authorities launch road safety campaign

Observador7 September 2026 at 09:09

The authorities launched a road safety campaign aimed at alerting citizens to the correct use of seat belts and other safety systems in vehicles. The initiative aims to raise awareness among drivers and passengers about the importance of these protective measures.

According to the campaign, safety systems "reduce the risk of death and serious injuries," but only protect effectively when they are appropriate and approved. This caveat reinforces that it is not enough to simply use these devices, and it is necessary to ensure that they comply with the established safety standards.
